Soundproofing a Basement

Sound Control Challenge:

Basements often serve as the family recreation center.   Converting a basement into a great room setting requires the need to isolate the room's noise from the rest of the house, and produce great acoustics inside the room.   Soundproofing a basement is essential in basement design for home theaters, music rooms and great rooms.

Soundproofing Treatment:

Your goal in sound proofing a basement is to disconnect common surface structure and line the surfaces with density.    This will help force the collapse of sound bleeding out of your room and affecting the rest of your home.    We recommend you visit the Walls and Ceilings sections of this website to discover these treatments and the use of dB-Bloc for soundproof basements..    

Once the room has been treated with basement sound insulation, then choose from the wall or ceiling mounted sound panels, ceiling tiles and related absorption products to control reverberations within your room and eliminate unwanted basement noise.   All product options for your basement treatment are featured in the Product Bin.

Acoustic Solution:

By isolating the basement from the rest of your home and insulating with dB-Bloc, you could trigger as average 10-12 dB drop in the amount of noise bleeding out through your walls and ceiling.    This difference is simulated in our Sound Chamber.   Then through the installation of NetWell absorption products within your finished basement, the sound quality will turn luxury grade as we clean out unwanted background noise and deliver the acoustics you expect when soundproofing a basement.
